What is Going Away with Lightfall?
As the highly anticipated expansion, Lightfall, approaches, Destiny 2 players are eager to know what changes and updates are coming to the game. One of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind is what content is being vaulted, or removed, with the new expansion. In this article, we’ll dive into the details of what’s going away with Lightfall and what you can expect from the new content.
Content Being Vaulted
The Witch Queen’s year of Destiny 2 is coming to a close, and with it, several seasonal activities will be vaulted, or removed, from the game. These activities include:
- Season of the Risen: This season introduced a new raid, the Deep Stone Crypt, and a variety of activities, including the Season of the Risen Exotic Quest.
- Season of the Haunted: This season brought a new dungeon, the Haunted Forest, and a series of activities, including the Season of the Haunted Exotic Quest.
- Season of Plunder: This season introduced a new raid, the Last Wish, and a variety of activities, including the Season of Plunder Exotic Quest.
- Season of the Seraph: This season brought a new dungeon, the Pit of Heresy, and a series of activities, including the Season of the Seraph Exotic Quest.
These seasonal activities will be removed from the game, making way for new content and experiences in Lightfall.
Changes to In-Game Economy
With Lightfall, the in-game economy is also undergoing significant changes. Umbrals and Umbral Energies will be removed from the game, replaced by a new system for focusing weapon perks. Shaping weapon perks will no longer require resonant elements and alloys, and deepsight weapons will now only drop for patterns you haven’t already unlocked.
Should You Beat The Witch Queen Before Lightfall?
If you haven’t already completed The Witch Queen’s story campaign, now is the perfect time to do so. The story campaign offers some of the best storytelling in Destiny 2’s history, and beating it will give you a sense of closure before the new expansion arrives.
What to Farm Before Lightfall
Before Lightfall arrives, you may want to focus on farming certain activities and rewards. Here are a few things you should consider farming:
- Season of the Risen High Stat Armor: If you haven’t already, farm this armor set for its high stats and unique perks.
- Season of Plunder World Drop Armorer Weapons: These weapons are highly sought after and offer unique perks and abilities.
- Seasons of Plunder, Risen, and Seraph Easy Crafting Currency: Farming these currencies will give you a head start on crafting new gear and equipment in Lightfall.
Will We Fight the Witness in Lightfall?
One of the most anticipated features of Lightfall is the direct battle with The Witness, the primary antagonist of the Light and Darkness Saga. This battle promises to be one of the most epic and challenging in Destiny 2’s history, and we can’t wait to see what it has in store.
Conclusion
Lightfall promises to bring significant changes and updates to Destiny 2, including the removal of several seasonal activities and changes to the in-game economy. While some players may be sad to see these activities go, the new content and experiences promised in Lightfall are sure to be exciting and challenging. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a new player, there’s never been a better time to join the Destiny 2 community and experience the thrill of Lightfall.
